A broom handle or equivalent pole works well to hold the spool. A second person will &#8216;walk&#8217; the end of the tubing to the measured reference mark (Section 4.0). Once the tubing end is pulled to this reference mark, label the tube about 1 ft. (30 cm) from the tubing end. Black electrical tape works well. Use the black tape to wrap the number of bands corresponding to the Port number around the tubing end (i.e. 1 band of black tape represents Port 1).
